Fire Chief Derrick Doehler retires after 20 years

The following is a preview of the September 4 City Council meeting. You may read the full agenda here.

After more than 20 years with San Gabriel, Fire Chief Derrick Doehler has announced his retirement, which officially begins on August 31, 2018. To maintain the San Gabriel Fire Department’s current level of service, the City’s Human Resources department is proposing that a new post-retirement agreement be drafted with Chief Doehler that would keep him employed no later than February 28, 2019 while a search is underway for a new Fire Chief.

Under California laws that govern the public sector, a retiree may not be employed by the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (or CalPERS) for more than 960 hours in a fiscal year, with a salary that does not exceed a regular employee in the same capacity. During this agreement, a search for a successor must be underway.

The City’s Human Resources department recommends that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the employment agreement with Chief Derrick Doehler and the City of San Gabriel.
